Describe the problem you have/What new integration you would like SIM800L: has a nice FM radio built-in. Has speaker output. Something like below would be nice:

Implement it as media_player.

Please describe your use case for this integration and alternatives you've tried: The module could be very useful during idle times when no GSM usage is active.

This, combined with support for I2S audio input would make possible creation of FM-to-WebRadio receivers, which stream could be played in the network using other media players in any room.

I don't see the point in this. devices have access to the Internet and can play any audio stream.

Point is, you don't wanna rely on the internet to listen to radio. Local streams only!

Also, there are radio stations broadcasting in FM but have no corresponding web stream.
